Check out this quick video walkthrough:

1. Getting Started: Create Your Page

🕒 0:29 — Editing title, goal, and date fields

  • Log in to Omella and select the “Team Fundraiser” template.
  • Enter the foundational information: your organization name, program name, and how you’d like participants to refer to you (Coach Smith, Ms. Johnson, etc.).
  • Set your start date, end date, and the team fundraising goal (the total amount you want to raise together).

2. Customize Your Page

🕒 1:01 — Adding a call to action, logo, team picture, and participant goal

  • Add a compelling short summary explaining what you’re raising money for and why. It helps supporters understand the cause.
  • Upload a logo and a cover image to make your page stand out.
  • Click Finish to create your initial page.
  • Then, open Page Settings to set an individual goal for each participant. (Tip: divide the team goal by the number of participants for a simple benchmark.)

💡 All of these details can be updated anytime, even after your campaign launches. See minute 4:55 in the video to learn how.

3. Invite Participants & Launch Strong

🕒 2:44 — Inviting your team

  • Invite your participants in one of three ways:
    • Enter their email addresses
    • Share the page link
    • Display or share your QR code

Once invited, participants will receive an email to create their profile and start sharing.

4. Participants: How to Share the Campaign

🎥 Watch this video for a full walkthrough:

After signing up, participants will be taken to the sharing screen, where they can:

  • Enter email addresses (one per line or separated by commas)
  • Share via SMS (available once the campaign is live)
  • Post to social media or copy their unique sharing link

⚠️ Note: Omella automatically sends email reminders to contacts shared via email. If participants share via SMS, they’ll need to follow up manually.

5. Launch & Monitor Progress

🕒 3:45 — The Team tab

  • Once your page is live, encourage participants to share with at least 20 contacts to build early momentum.
  • Monitor your Team tab to track participation and progress. You can see:
    • Who has joined
    • Profile pictures and parent/guardian emails (if available)
    • How much each person has raised
    • Overall team progress
    Note: This dashboard tracks email invites only (not SMS).

💡 Use these insights to celebrate active participants and gently nudge anyone who hasn’t started sharing yet.

6. Campaign Updates & Flexibility

🕒 4:55 — Updating your page

You can update your campaign at any time, including:

  • Start/end dates
  • Goal amount
  • Images and logo
  • Story and call to action

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
